Abstract
This study attempted to evaluate students' grade point average and school-related factors as correlates with the engineering freshmen performance in solid geometry. In mathematics, students are expected to learn to compute, to develop an understanding of mathematical concepts, and to solve quantitative problems encountered in daily lives. Specifically, it sought to profile the point grade average in high school mathematics, Performance in College Solid Geometry, Information and Communication Technology Facilities. The study involved 250 freshmen students of the College of Engineering of Technological University of the Philippines, Manila taking up BSCE, BSECE, BSEE, and BSME as the respondents of the study. A questionnaire was devised to elicit the evaluation of respondents in the Information Communication Technology facilities and student services facilities, while records from the Registrar, class records were the resources of High School Grade Point Average and midterm grades in solid geometry. The study used descriptive and correlation research, and corresponding statistical tools and techniques were used. The result of the study includes the following: (1) Engineering freshmen have almost equal skills, intelligence, and performance level in the High School and College Mathematics specifically in Solid Geometry. (2) Engineering freshmen have an adequate assessment of the effect of Information Communication Technology and student services facilities on their performance in mathematics particularly Solid Geometry, and lastly (3) Mathematics skills and abilities and school facilities greatly affect and influence engineering freshmen in learning mathematics particularly Solid Geometry. .
